Lennie where ya goin,
Are you tired of the farm?
Did you do someone harm?
Lennie where ya headed?
Are you sick of the land?
Are you sinking in the sand?
Does anyone understand, but George?
***
You were made with fists of iron,
You were built to hold up the sky …
But instead you find poor rodents,
And squeeze them … until they die …
Come on Lennie …
What’s this struggle for?
And Lennie sighs …
And say’s “no more” …
***
Lennie … what’s wrong … with this song?
Lennie, are you stuck in the throng?
Lennie, will you clean up that shack?
Lennie, will George give you your money back?
You wander strongly,
behind your good friend George,
he keeps you going,
but there’s something about him …
Something about him …
Something about George …
And Lennie has no clue.
***
Lennie are you tired?
Did you spend time alone?
Did you get mired,
in rancher’s desire,
when all that you want,
is a place with a warm fire?
Don’t be sad Lennie,
you can makes shoes from a tire.
***
Lennie are you angry?
Did you spend time in the barn,
Did you say “oh darn”?
You need to stay away from Curley’s wife,
Don’t make George take your life,
This world is filled with liquor and strife,
***
Lennie … are you okay?
Lennie … what’d ya do today?
Lennie, did Curley’s wife go away?
Lennie, there’s not much to say …
“Hey George, tell me again about the rabbits …”
Gun shot rings out …
Not time to pout …
It’s all done …
Lennie is on the other side,
where all is ONE …
Hey George, go clean that gun …
(then go get drunk and have some hookers)
